Past / Present Port Commissioners

To the Commissioners,
“… the Commissioners shall serve without salary or compensation.” California Harbors and Navigation Code, Section 6251 And largely without thanks, it might be added. There is not room to chronicle the countless hours of time and dedication that the Port Commissioners have provided this public enterprise over the course of its history. They have given wise counsel and nurtured the harbor into what is today a star on the Monterey Bay – a jewel on a jewel. We are richer for their efforts and we are in their debt. We salute the Commissioners. Thank you.
